Definition of Sibling: The student must be one of two or more children (biologically or legally adopted) having one or both parents in common. This discount is not available to family members outside the sibling relationship such as step-brothers/ sisters, cousins, and so on, whose permanent residence is at the same address as the student currently enrolled at the School.

The discount is applied to the second and subsequent sibling(s) in the order of birth. Students in receipt of the sibling discount are not eligible for any other discount.

Second Sibling: 5% of Tuition discount

Third and subsequent Sibling(s): 10% of Tuition discount

Payment Financed Over 10 Months

Tuition can be financed over the course of 10 months. Monthly payments will begin on July 1 and can be paid by direct withdrawal or charged to a credit card (Visa or Mastercard). A 3% administration fee will apply if monthly payments are charged to a credit card.

students to see life from multiple perspectives; to be both participant in, and observer of, a complex, information-rich world; to have the audacity and flexibility to grasp opportunities; and the generosity to share their understanding.

Meadowridge School incurs expenses on a continuous basis, and tuition fees on their own provide only a portion of the funds required to cover the annual operating expenses of the school. Thus, it is essential that the school's annual income is assured through fees. When a student is enrolled, a place is reserved for the entire school year. We ask that parents read all tuition and fee materials very carefully.
